OXO Cupcake Corer – the best part is always the middle

Cooking gadgets allow us to do far more creative dishes in the kitchen than we might be able to otherwise. Much in the same way an artist getting a new brush will add something different to their painting, a new kitchen gizmo will allow you to add something different to the menu. The only difference is that you get to eat your masterpiece at the end.

While the Cupcake Corer is not quite as much work as a gadget such as the vegetable spiralizer, the end results are just as exciting. Cupcakes and muffins are pretty darn delicious on their own, but imagine, if you will, a chocolate cupcake stuffed with peanut butter or a muffin jam-packed with preserves. Of course the finished product is amazing, but you also get to eat the little leftovers that pop out of the corer too, so it’s a win-win.

Obviously there are other ways to go about coring and filling a muffin or cupcake, but this will make it look professional. It works almost the same way as those yolk removers, but you have to gently push down and twist before suctioning up the center. The button on the top is huge and fits easily in your hand, so you shouldn’t have to deal with hand cramps over making baked goods. This is a cheap but effective little tool costing only $6.95, and is something that tiny tots can help do in the kitchen without making too much of a mess.
